Northamptonshire’s St. Mary the Virgin Church, Titchmarsh

St Mary the Virgin, Titchmarsh, Northamptonshire

Ian begins his journey to the north-west for an audit at head office in Warrington. Though he’s not keen on being audited, he’s excited to take some snaps of the sunrise before Jools drops him off at the prom. He picks up his car, a Toyota Yaris, with no sat nav, which he finds a bit disappointing. On the way to the hotel, Ian decides to visit St Mary and All Saints, which served as a parish church of the House of York, including King Richard III, who he finds fascinating. He takes some shots of the church and its mausoleums before moving on.

As he passes by Oundle, Ian sees a church and a school, but decides not to take a closer look. Instead, he drives towards Titchmarsh, a picturesque village with thatched, half-timbered houses. Ian parks up and enters the church, where he sees many wall paintings with little of great interest. He takes some pictures and, as it starts snowing, sets off to see his friend Teresa in Warrington.

Teresa lives the other side of Warrington, so Ian drives through the northern roads, where he encounters two huge dog mountains, probably St Bernards. After chatting for an hour, Ian leaves for his destination, a golf resort, which he mistakenly refers to as a hotel. It’s around 16 miles away, but the heavy snow makes his journey a bit scary. He’s relieved when he finally makes it to the entrance, where he parks his car, and prepares to have dinner.
